In this essential episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by fertility awareness educator Emma Goff for a powerful conversation about menstrual cycles, body literacy, and why so many women don't truly understand how their bodies work.

We explore the reality that most women are taught very little about their cycles beyond periods and pregnancy — leaving them disconnected from their bodies and often reliant on incomplete or misleading information.

Emma breaks down the biology of the menstrual cycle in a clear and accessible way, from ovulation patterns to fertility windows, while also highlighting how stress, lifestyle, and hormonal contraception can impact reproductive health.

In this powerful and deeply needed episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Elena Riu for a conversation about women's health education — and the critical gaps that still exist across generations.

We explore how so many women move through life without truly understanding their bodies — from menstrual cycles and ovulation to contraception, perimenopause, and menopause. Elena shares her work in body literacy and highlights how early experiences with menstruation shape a woman's relationship with her body for decades to come.

Together, we unpack the impact of cultural conditioning, medical systems that treat the body in isolation, and the over-reliance on quick fixes like the contraceptive pill — often without informed consent or true understanding.

This conversation is an invitation to reconnect with the body, to bring awareness back to natural rhythms, and to start having the conversations that were never had — especially with the next generation.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Mandy Merrifield for a conversation about identity, resilience, and what it really takes to rebuild your life on your own terms.

Mandy shares her journey from addiction, financial struggle, and personal trauma to becoming a coach who supports women in midlife to reconnect with their values, rebuild confidence, and make aligned choices. We explore how societal expectations — the "fairy tale" narratives we've been sold — shape the way women live, and why so many find themselves questioning everything in their 30s, 40s, and beyond.

In this expansive and thought-provoking episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Sarah Leather, business coach and former naturopath for a conversation that bridges menopause, mindset, identity, and how women lead themselves in midlife.

Sarah shares her personal journey through menopause — including unexpected physical and emotional challenges — alongside her evolution from working in women's health to coaching women in mid to later life. Together, we explore how menopause is often framed as something to "fix," rather than a powerful transition to understand, honour, and grow through.

We also unpack the increasing noise in the menopause and coaching space, the pressure to find quick solutions, and the importance of stepping out of constant overthinking to reconnect with intuition, clarity, and inspired action.

In this essential episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by leading gynecologist and menopause expert Dr. Heather Currie, trustee and past chair of the British Menopause Society and founder of Menopause Matters.

Together, we explore the history of menopause care — from the widespread use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in the 1980s and 1990s, to the dramatic decline following the Women's Health Initiative study, and now the modern resurgence of menopause awareness.

We discuss the real risks and benefits of HRT, the dangers of oversimplified messaging, the variability in women's menopausal experiences, why menopause treatment should never be a blanket approach and the importance of lifestyle factors alongside medical treatment.

Dr. Heather brings decades of clinical experience and research insight to this conversation, helping women cut through the noise and make informed, individualised decisions.

In this powerful episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by trauma-aware yoga instructor Michelle for an honest conversation about chronic stress, nervous system regulation, and why so many women are unknowingly living in "survival mode."

We explore how perimenopause, menopause, motherhood, career pressure, and societal expectations combine to keep women in a constant state of hypervigilance — snapping at small things, preparing for worst-case scenarios, and feeling overwhelmed by everyday life.

Michelle shares her personal journey from panic attacks and anxiety to becoming a trauma-informed yoga teacher, and explains how simple, accessible yoga and mindfulness practices can help women regulate their nervous systems, build resilience, and reconnect with self-trust.

In this episode we discuss what "survival mode" really looks like in modern women's lives and the hidden signs of nervous system dysregulation. We look at the connection between chronic stress, reactivity, menopause and hormonal shifts, how trauma-aware yoga supports emotional regulation and the importance of simple breathwork and grounding techniques to calm anxiety.

In this insightful episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by homeopath and women's health practitioner Caroline Gaskin for a nuanced conversation about menopause care, hormone balance, and the evolving landscape of women's health.

As menopause becomes more visible — and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) increasingly positioned as a first-line solution — we explore what may be getting lost in the conversation. Caroline shares her 25+ years of experience supporting women through perimenopause and menopause using personalised, integrative approaches that combine homeopathy, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and holistic assessment.

We discuss why a detailed health history matters, how menstrual patterns offer powerful diagnostic clues, and why menopause support should go far beyond symptom suppression.

In this episode we discuss the changing menopause narrative and the rise of HRT as first-line treatment, the impact of estrogen dominance, environmental toxins, ultra-processed foods, stress, trauma, and lifestyle on menstrual and menopausal symptoms. WE also look at natural menopause management strategies, including magnesium, essential fatty acids, and adaptogens

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by body confidence coach and healing boudoir photographer Rebecca Sigala for a conversation about body image, identity, and self-worth.

We explore how women's relationships with their bodies are shaped long before midlife — through subtle messaging, family dynamics, societal standards, and cultural conditioning. Rebecca shares how her work evolved from boudoir photography into transformational coaching, helping women move beyond surface-level confidence into genuine self-trust and embodied self-acceptance.

This conversation goes far beyond appearance. It's about how women disconnect from their bodies, how weight becomes entangled with worth, and how we can teach the next generation of girls that their value was never conditional.

In this episode we discuss what body image really means, how early experiences shape women's relationship with their bodies and the hidden impact of indirect body shaming and cultural messaging.

If you've ever struggled with body image, questioned your confidence, or wondered how to feel at home in your body again — this episode is for you.

In this thought-provoking episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Joyce Harper for an honest, evidence-informed conversation about women's reproductive health, menopause, and the growing confusion surrounding hormone therapy.

We explore why women's health education has historically been incomplete, why men and boys must be included in these conversations, and how misinformation — even from trusted institutions — is shaping how women view their bodies and menopause itself. Together, we challenge the idea that menopause is a disease to be fixed and unpack what the research really says about hormone replacement therapy, brain health, heart health, and long-term wellbeing.

We explore comprehensive education about women's reproductive health still falls short, the explosion of menopause misinformation online and on social media and what the research actually says about hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

In this episode we talk about

• Menopause is not a disease — and shouldn't be treated like one

• Why hormone therapy works for some women but not all

• The dangers of fear-based menopause messaging

• Why lifestyle factors matter more than we're led to believe

• How women can age, thrive, and flourish without over-medicalisation

• Environmental toxins, ultra-processed foods, and women's long-term health

This episode invites women to step back from fear-based narratives and reclaim trust in their bodies, while focusing on the proven lifestyle foundations that support health, vitality, and longevity.

In this honest and deeply human episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Bazy Rubin for a conversation about the realities of modern motherhood — the parts we live through quietly, but rarely speak about out loud.

Bazy shares her journey as a mother of four, entrepreneur, and often solo parent, navigating mental health, miscarriage, career pivots, and the constant pressure to "hold it all together." We talk openly about grief, resilience, self-care, and why women need spaces where real stories can be shared without shame or perfection.

In this episode we discuss the emotional realities of motherhood that often go unspoken, Solo parenting, mental load, and managing expectations, navigating miscarriage and the lack of education and support women receive and why asking for help is not weakness it's leadership.
